In a shocking move on August 7, 2025, Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing an additional 25% tariff on Indian exports, bringing the total to 50%. The reason? India’s continued purchase of discounted Russian crude oil — a move Trump claims is fueling Russia’s war in Ukraine. Ironically, the U.S. itself still imports Russian uranium, and China, which buys far more oil from Russia than India, faces no additional tariffs. So, why this selective aggression toward India? This video takes you deep into the US-India trade tensions, unpacks Trump’s double standards, and questions Modi’s foreign policy failures. Despite being called “My Dear Friend” by PM Modi, Trump has taken actions that could severely impact India’s economy — from harming key export sectors like textiles, gems & jewelry, and chemicals, to increasing inflation for U.S. consumers. We also examine whether India truly benefits from Russian oil imports (worth $52 billion in 2024), and how India is caught in a web of dependency — on Russia for energy, and on the U.S. for trade. With rising unemployment, falling GDP, and crumbling infrastructure at home, Modi’s geopolitical miscalculations may cost India dearly.
